When ICE targets people—including off-duty officers as reported by Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley—for no reason other than how they look, it destroys trust, divides communities, and fails to make us safer.

Children! Absolutely disgraceful. This is what happens when Donald Trump’s government pays bounties for people. Doesn’t matter if they’re legal. Doesn’t matter who they are. Doesn’t matter if they’re five-years-old. How can anyone justify this any more?

I joined agriculture leaders from across the state today in Mankato for the Minnesota Ag Expo. Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our economy, and we must ensure they have what they need to thrive—strong markets and stable trade policies.

Yes it’s cold in Minnesota—but we embrace it. John and I were in Hastings with Mayor Fasbender for Hockey Day Minnesota to watch my alma mater, Wayzata High School, take on Rogers. Photo taken with parents right after their son scored a goal!

The 3,000 ICE and federal agents in Minnesota outnumber all 10 metro police departments combined. Local law enforcement leaders have made it clear that this surge is disrupting public safety, stretching resources, and making their jobs more difficult. ICE is making us less safe.

ICE’s reasoning for stopping anyone in Minnesota is illegal and unconstitutional. This explains why they took an innocent Hmong American out of his home wearing almost nothing in 12-degree weather, and dropped him off an hour later after admitting they had the wrong person.

Today I talked with police chiefs from across the metro area. This isn’t just happening in Mpls and St. Paul. The 3000 ICE agents are in the suburbs and across our state. The surge is disrupting the work of local law enforcement.

The first year of the Trump administration has set us back. Tariffs are increasing costs by $1,700 a year. ICE is making us less safe. The President is more focused on Greenland & his ballroom than helping Americans. We need to lower costs and end the chaos & corruption.

All because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize. Not fighting for Americans—fighting for himself.

Minnesota has always been a state that welcomes people from around the world. One example: Team Canada leading a huge crowd in singing “O Canada” after winning gold at the World Snow Sculpting Championship in Stillwater.

Rewarding ICE agents for arrests — even if the person is released without charges — is leading to chaos in the streets and Constitutional rights being violated. This isn’t making us safer.

I attended the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Breakfast hosted by the General Mills Foundation and UNCF Twin Cities. This year’s theme—“Make a career of humanity”—comes from Dr. King’s own words and calls on us to commit ourselves to service, justice, and lifting others up.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on Dr. King’s enduring call for justice, equality, and action. Even in these challenging times, Dr. King’s courage and faith remind us to stand together with resolve and compassion.

Donald Trump’s chaotic trade wars are actually handing advantages to China — hurting our farmers and workers in the process. And his constant threats to NATO are weakening our alliances and emboldening Russia. apnews.com/article/chin...

Making Americans pay more because you can’t take over another country? The President should spend more time on lowering costs for Americans and less time blowing up our most important alliances.

In Minnesota, we won't stop welcoming people from around the world. Undeterred by the ice or ICE, Stillwater, MN hosted its annual world snow competition, bringing 16 international teams that turn blocks of snow into art. Congrats to first-place Canada 🇨🇦, Mongolia and Thailand for second and third!

The courts are upholding the law and the rights of Minnesotans to peacefully protest ICE. An important ruling for the Constitution and our state.

A Minnesota federal judge ruled ICE violated Garrison Gibson's 4th Amendment rights by battering down his door without a warrant. Agents stormed his family home. More than 300 judges have ruled against this admin's immigration policies.

Heartbreaking. A Minneapolis family driving home from their son’s basketball game with six kids, including a 6-month-old, was hit by tear gas & flash-bangs from ICE agents, leaving their baby struggling to breathe and hospitalized. This is unacceptable. ICE is making our state less safe.

An assault on our democracy and the rule of law. Speaking out against what our government is doing is not a crime in America—not now, not ever.

I spoke at a Congressional hearing in St. Paul this morning about the chaos and fear ICE is creating in our state. Instead of de-escalating, the administration is doubling down—putting public safety at risk and making it harder for local law enforcement to do their jobs.

There are now more ICE agents in MN than there are police in the 10 largest metro police departments combined. Our Police Chief asked them not to come onto our streets, but the administration continues to escalate the situation. This is making Minnesota less safe.

It is completely unacceptable that law-abiding Minnesotans are being thrown to the ground, detained, pepper-sprayed, and threatened. This endangers public safety and is fundamentally un-American. www.startribune.com/have-yall-no...

In the 16 years since the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, a flood of unlimited special interest money has been spent to influence our elections. We must fight for a more transparent democracy where every voter’s voice is heard.

The resignations of dedicated career prosecutors from the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office are a serious loss. The DOJ’s politicization of the investigation into Renee Good’s killing is doing lasting damage to our justice system.

Our local law enforcement, mayors, and community leaders all agree: The best way to restore order and safety in Minnesota is for ICE to leave our streets. This Administration is escalating rather than de-escalating and it needs to stop.

The resignations of Joe Thompson and 5 other seasoned prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office in MN mark a significant setback for our state and public safety. They took on fraud, shooting investigations & so much more. Justice must remain free from political interference.

The administration is sending 1,000 more ICE agents to Minnesota. That's over 3,000 federal agents flooding our streets, almost triple the combined police forces of Minneapolis and St. Paul. ICE is sowing chaos in our communities. They need to get off our streets immediately.

Millions of Americans saw premiums double & triple because Republicans for months blocked the extension of the health care credits. We offered negotiations—they said no. 17 House Republicans joined Democrats to pass a 3-year extension. The Senate needs to pass this now.

Joe Thompson and the 5 other Minnesota prosecutors who resigned are incredible public servants who led major investigations into fraud, sex trafficking, and missing people. The DOJ’s politicization of our justice system has resulted in a real loss for Minnesota and for public safety.

A judge restored funding for the American Academy of Pediatrics that helps prevent unexpected infant death, increases pediatric care in rural areas, improves care for newborns, and more. Retaliating against Americans’ pediatricians is not how we protect our kids.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension worked closely and effectively with the FBI on the investigations into the tragic Hortman and Annunciation Church shootings — yet now the BCA is being excluded entirely. That undermines public trust precisely when we need maximum transparency.

The administration’s continued attacks on the Federal Reserve threaten its independence and will further destabilize the economy. These political attacks undermine the rule of law and will only increase costs for all Americans.
